I'm alive again and I did something :D

+hope you're doing fine now and wish you all best ♡

I am an open book, so happy to answer.

One day a few years ago, I was doing something stupid that I had done hundreds of times before, I used electric to make my heart skip. I'd shocked myself dozens of times that day trying to get a good recording, but I shocked one random time and my heart did not restart like it had every time before.

I didn't have time to do much before I passed out, roughly 10 seconds. Everything went dark quickly. I slipped away, felt a release, and felt a deep comfort. The next thing I heard was my heart pounding loudly in my ears. It turns out the stethoscope was still in place from losing consciousness too quickly, so I could hear it picking up speed before I regained my vision. I was very confused as I woke up on the floor, but once I realized where I was, I knew something had gone wrong.

Truly, I wouldn't know what happened if it weren't for the recording, which I posted here awhile ago. You can hear my heart randomly stop, me panic for a few seconds before passing out, some agonal breathing as my body fought to live, and then my heart start again on its own.

For a long time, I thought a DC shock from a battery would cause asystole, not Vfib. It turns out, research shows that AC and DC shocks both end in VF- outside of a lightning strike. So, somehow I got extremely lucky and experienced a very rare case of VF spontaneous termination.

Health wise, I am tip top. My checkups have come back clean and I stay very active.

If I were to look for a lesson- I lost a partner to cancer after this accident. We talked often about the peace I found when I left and I believe it gave her deep comfort. As lame as it is to say, if it helped her, it was worth it.

More drawings of him!

He would love to show off his irregular heartbeat, but at the same time he would have some problems because of this

He's not a fan of sports, so his heart doesn't seem to tolerate any physical exertion very well

good news: finally figured out how to embed audio! so here's this one again--my favorite of all time. these are the most pleasurable skips i've ever experienced, which you can tell because i let out a little moan around 30 seconds in when it just would not. stop. skipping, and you can hear me panting when my heart finally remembers how to beat.

Cardio Files: Case 1 - Derpy Hooves

Miss Derpy Hooves has always been the kind of girl to defy her own limits.

Throughout her life, Derpy has always had to work a little bit harder than the average person just to keep up. Despite her worsening Strabismus, she also had been diagnosed with an enlarged heart at an early age.

Thankfully, Derpy's enlarged heart never amounted to anything serious. She made frequent appointments with her Cardiologist, and had grown to be a very healthy lady!

She continued participating in physical activities to keep her large heart healthy. Taking part in marathons, hiking, and other recreational sports, and even working part-time running mail for the Post Office.

Her enlarged heart was conditioned into being an Athlete's Heart.

Derpy Hooves' heart is something that deserves to be admired. You will see that her large and powerful heart isn't something made for her petite body. It's like there's barely enough space for her heart to pump inside.

So this pretty much means her heartbeat is visible all the time. You'll see that her shirt even moves to her heartbeat, and it's not subtle at all! No special effects, no magic, or anything. This is just how Derpy's heart is very naturally.

So, on my trip down I found out that guarana is available as a soda. It's an ingredient in energy drinks up here in the states, e.g. Monster branded stuff, but I've never had it in isolation. So I had some fun and took a big dose of it without adding caffeine, to see what it did to my heart.

Here's the money shot for the impatient:

So yeah, it helped make my heart more irregular while playing with it. A little more irregular at rest but nothing too crazy, but it made breath play and pressure work more than usual.

After getting these reactions I tried pressure. There was a particularly good spot to do it (high countertop that could hold my weight) and my heart was feeling jumpy. It hasn't responded to pressure in awhile and certainly not like this.

Wildly reactive. My heart hasn't responded like this in like, dang, maybe 5 years at this point? Felt amazing. What was my fastest rate?
